Property Manager
I had several questions about the property beforehand - they were promptly and politely answered. The directions to the property were spot-on. All property information was well communicated.
Property
This property was perfect for our family (8 adults, 5 grandchildren, 1 dog). There was ample sleeping room and plenty of living space, both indoors and outdoors. The kitchen was well equipped with utensils, cookware, and flatware. The huge dining table was much appreciated, as well as the beautiful patio furniture. We utilized the washer and dryer several times - it was great having extra space in our vehicles for hiking gear vs. clothes! Having onsite garbage cans was a HUGE hit, given the amount we generated. Fires on the rocky shoreline were unforgettable, as well as the shallow waters. There was plenty of parking for our multiple vehicles/families. The "game closet" was wonderful, as well as puzzles, movies and books. The location was perfect for us - near many hiking trails. There were really NO negatives to this property! Thank you for sharing!
